Following a mesmerizing performance of the song by contestant Ritika, Sooraj Barjatya took a nostalgic trip down memory lane as he narrated the story behind Salman Khan sporting that nightie in the song ‘Didi Tera Devar Deewana’. He said, “This was a long and elaborate song that required 16 days of rehearsals and 9 days of filming. We wanted to end it on a high note, with a fun and victorious celebration. I suggested to my father that Salman should wear a nighty for the final scene. While Salman instantly agreed, my father rejected the idea, finding it inappropriate. But the entire team was so enthusiastic about it that we decided to put it to a vote among the ladies on set. All the dancers, including Madhuri, found the idea hilarious and insisted we go ahead with it. In the end, Madhuri herself did Salman’s makeup for the scene. Thank you for bringing back these wonderful memories!”
This light-hearted anecdote about the now Bollywood classic, ‘Didi Tera Devar Deewana’, only adds to its charm.
